Bharti Airtel has deployed additional sites in Kannur and Kasaragod districts of Kerala to densify its network. The telco has undertaken the network enhancement project across 31 towns and 218 villages, covering a population base of 1.17 million. The additional sites will further augment the customer experience in this region, providing improved voice and data connectivity.
Customers in the tehsils of Iritty, Kannur, Taliparamba, Thalassery, Payyanur, Hosdurg, Kasaragod, Manjeshwaram, and Vellarikundu under Kannur and Kasaragod districts will directly benefit from this network enhancement. This expansion will enable seamless access to high-speed connectivity for customers in rural and smaller towns in Kannur and Kasaragod.
Airtel is aiming to augment network connectivity across 60,000 villages in the country by 2024 under its Rural Enhancement Project (REP). The project covers all 14 districts of Kerala, with the goal of increasing network capacity and extending services deeper into rural and unconnected areas.
In Kerala, one of the big focus markets, the telco will be augmenting its network coverage across 1600 villages and 355 towns, covering the entire state.
Airtel’s network in the region now covers all key urban, semi-urban, and rural areas, including highways, tourist destinations, and trade centres.
